Context- Currently trying out Hardcore mode seriously for the first time, and it has really made me slow down how I usually play, since I only have one life and I dont want to lose all my progress forever.
I'm playing with a few vanilla+ mods that just generally add more wood types, more crops and seasons and cooking with vanilla stuff, (basically making MC in a 3D stardew valley)
Been having tons of fun just taking my time playing the game, and after walking a few thousand blocks from spawn I settled in a taiga biome with really interesting generation as all the houses were on the side of cliff in a valley with a nice river in the middle, so I made my house there.
Funnily enough as I was building, one of the villages golems must have walked into my house and by the time I noticed, I had already made all the walls and was starting to seal off roof to start making the second floor, thats when I saw that the iron golem was stuck since its a 2½ tall room, and I couldn't really get him out. So I kind of just built the ceiling around him. And he just stayed there and he now just lives there with me in the first floor of my house. In the second floor I made my storage room and I made use of the new copper golems to store my things neatly, and I started with one… and then 2… and finally 3.
(Yes they do have names, Penny, Renny, and Benny)
So now I have 3 little guys running around my house and walking out organizing all my stuff while passing by their boss who lives in the firsts floor the Iron Golem, and it is the cutest thing ever.
Anyway as I go along my days and one day, I notice that they start oxidizing and I'm thinking that soon I need to get them cleaned up, until one day after mining for some lapiz and returning i notice that Penny and Benny now had even more Oxidation and a Flower on their heads, and it looks sooo charming and cute, and im thinking that its part of their process as they "Get older" completely unaware of the actual process.
Until one day, I happened be in the firsts floor afk while I watched something in my second monitor and I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Renny had stopped in front of the Iron golem (Alfred) and he handed Renny a flower.
Thats when it clicked to me that this whole time it was because Alfred had gotten stuck in my house, that the copper golems who were constantly passing by him got their flowers.
Since then I have waxed them all so they keep their slightly weathered look and it matches with their little flower.
Thank you mojang for that little detail.
